Tonight Jupiter and the Moon are slow-dancing, cheek-to-cheek, among the warm clouds. We are burning jasmine for now and forever.
For Katy’s Dad … and all Daddies
Your race is done; it’s time to go
Words cannot express how much I’ll miss you so
Have no worries; we’ll be all right
Against the odds, you know you fought one hell of a fight
Goodbyes aren’t easy
They’re bittersweet
But take these few words with you until next time we meet
There’s been some roughness
Tangled, now and then
But you loved me with a country heart that’ll never, ever bend
You were the first to ever hold me
Taught me how to throw a ball
Showed me that strength shines through darkness, guides us when we fall
Goodbyes are never easy
But it’s time for you to go
God speed you on your journey, you know I love you so
Goodbyes are never easy
But it’s time for you to go
Your fight is almost over, you know I’ll miss you so
Goodbyes are never easy
Donna’s waiting ’round the bend
God speed you on your journey until we meet again
